The Central Pacific Coast region of Hadassah held its spring meeting on May 17, 2009 in Pleasanton, CA. Members of our chapter, Shoshana Nurik, Susan Cohen-Grossman, and Geri Kahn, attended. There were approximately 30 people in attendance over all.
Liz Alpert, president of our region, gave an interesting report. She told us that Hadassah hospital in partnership with Hebrew University will be opening up a new medical school. She also summarized the fundraising efforts of our region. In our region we raised $91,385.00 from the latest campaign.
The regional board gave out awards to the various chapters in our region. Our chapter won three awards: for the bulletin, in programming, and in membership. We have a great deal to be proud of as these accomplishments are a result of a lot of hard work from our members.
We received a regional calendar at the meeting and I have posted all the events for the next year on the blog in the right column.
The last item of business at the meeting was the installation of the new officers for next year. Susan Cohen-Grossman from our chapter was installed as the regional communications vice president.
